About Sentinel Emergency Solutions

There’s no grand sales pitch about how we work. It’s perfectly uncomplicated: We sell quality products at a fair price and service what we sell.

By leveraging our longstanding relationships with trusted, reliable suppliers, and by providing the expertise of our highly skilled technicians, we build, supply and service:

Firefighting apparatus including pumpers, tankers and aerials

EMS vehicles and equipment

Sentinel was only recently born. So how can we have over 90 years of experience? Because we created a bigger, better company by merging two great companies: Towers Fire Apparatus and Franco Emergency Solutions. Our increased size means we bring more strength and a larger commitment as we continue to serve the 4-state region of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky.

With two Midwest locations and nearly 50 employees, our sales and service departments broadly serve first responders and personnel in the Fire and EMS industries.

Last Tuesday, we received our new MSA G1 SCBAs (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus). These were the second part of the 2015 Assistance to Firefighters Grant that we were awarded last year. These SCBAs will replace our current airpacks which are close to 15 years old.
As part of the grant, we received the following:
1. 24 airpack harnesses
2. 34 batteries
3. 48 custom 4500 psi bottles
4. 40 masks
5. 2 battery charging stations
Out of the 24 harnesses, 12 of them have the TICs (Thermal Imaging Cameras) built into the control module. This way, every firefighter on the first due apparatus to a structure fire will have a thermal imaging camera one click away.
Each pack cost approximately $7700. The total cost was $174,081.60. We only had to pay $8800 total. This never would have been possible with the budget we have (roughly $65,000 annually).
